Transfering to new host

Hey guys I just transferred my oscommerce store to netsol hosting. The guys at netsol mostly did the work for us but an error has occured that they said they would not be able to help us with. when going to the admin section i was getting a 500 internal service error. I called up my guy at netsol and he said he turned off the htaccess file and i was able to get into the admin site. The only problem is that now their is no required login for the admin site. I'm not really that familiar with oscommerce or how to do anything besides check order status and such. please help. I don't want someone being able to access all the customer information.

Todd,

 

It sounds like you are using osCommerce MS2.2 or RC1. If so, you will need to create an .htaccess protection file and a .htaccess_passwrd file in order to protect your site.

ps. If your version is that outdated, you really should consider upgrading to v2.3.1

the .htaccess file has been made:

 

AuthName "Restricted Area"

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /htdocs/ftpbackup/public/admin/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

require valid-user

 

 

I think the problem is lying with netsol. This is a very simple .htaccess just to ask for a username and password
